Dell PE 850 Intel VT Support
Hi,
I'm having some minor issues at getting VMWare ESXi working on my Dell Poweredge 850, it appears in order for 64 bit guests to run, you need to enable Intel VT in the BIOS. I've already searched in the BIOS for this specific option, but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for.
I've looked up my CPU (which appears to be a D950, with VT support, http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9K8).
As I already said, I wasn't able to find the VT option, but the CPU is supposed to support it. Where can I find this option? Will a BIOS update provide the helping hand?
Thanking you in advance,

to the best of my research, there is no BIOS support for VT on the 850.
I ran into this problem when I wanted to deploy Hyper-V on a couple of 850's in my lab.
I ended up buying a couple of second-hand 860's to solve that problem.
